Stylish and exclusive, Dodmoor House exemplifies that lusted-after rustic barn vibe without forgoing the finer touches. It’s no surprise that this rural gem, set within 4 acres of prettily landscaped grounds beside the Grand Union canal at Weedon, took the 2021 Muddy Award for Best Wedding Venue in Northants.

Owners, husband and wife team Mark and Louise, converted the barns from scratch to create a dream events space and now, 15 years on, Dodmoor has a dedicated cohort of pro wedding co-ordinators to help you to plan and pull off your dream day. From food and drink to decor and quirky props like light up letters and funky photo booths, you can tailor your celebration so it’s exactly as you want it to be. The team here are super flexible and you can use Dodmoor’s recommended suppliers or bring in your own – you get full control.

The versatile Grade II listed barns date back 400 years so if it’s character you’re looking for you’ll definitely find it here and there are distinct spaces for the ceremony, reception and dancing too, helping to ensure everything works seamlessly on the day. The Catesby Barn and Courtyard Barn, which enclose a delightful courtyard, feature high ceilings, exposed beams and brickwork and large windows that fill the interiors with light.
